POLE-DISTRIBUTION Rfitt'bii PATE- Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 3. 1906. Serial No, 3142,94?

I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention,

such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to electrical appliances, and has particular reference to insulating-brackets for receiving and holding in .spaced relation the several pairs of wires of a telephone-cable immediately alter they leave the distribution box and preparatory to their extension to their several terminals.

The object of my invention is to provide a bracket 01 this class which is of simple and cheap construction and capable of having its size readily and easily increased or diminished to suit the number of lead-wires which it is desired to accommodate, and by which adequate capacity can be obtained with economy of space.

Another object is to provide a bracket that will readily. accommodate a large number of wires leading out in substantially the same direction from the point of distribution.

, The invention is fully described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which is a view in perspective of a portion of a pole having a pole-house or distribution-box and a bracket comprising my invention secured thereto.

Referring to the drawing, 1 indicates a distribution-box such as is COIIIIROIllYfUSGCl in telephone and telegraph systems, 2 an insulating-braicket comprising the features of my invention, and 3 a pole or other stationary object to which said box and bracket are.

secured.

The bracket 2 consists of the two end members or brackets 4, which are of 5.. shaped construction and securely fastened in spaced relation on the supporting-pole or o ject 3 by. lag-screws 5 or in any other suitable manner. The brackets 4t areshown in wardly-projecting portions prei e the drawing as being "9 which into gaii in the pole; brack ts maybe made Witl'i curve to i'i t 1e pole without gaininx here or brackets l have their posed toward each other and ailioird uppcrts for one or inc" 1 lviounted on each bolt or faces of the shelves of the o plurality oi insulatingspools 7, oi or other suitable insulating niia number of wh ch is governed by between said b .ack In b consequent length or the can the illustration the distribution-bracket shown provided with two bolts orpins 6, each carrying five insulat'ing-sp( ols, t" s en-- abling it to accommodate u pairs of w es 8, only one which is shov in the drawing.

it will. be apparent with this construction of bracket that any desired number of lead 7 in is 5 wires may be accmninodatcd by either chang ing the spacing of the end members 4 and the length of the bolts or pins (1 or by increasin g or diminishing the number of said bolts ried by the bracket.

Having thus described my invention, what l'claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is-

1. A wire-distribution bracket, comprising in combination with a support, two spaced members secured to the support, a rod-like element connecting said members and hell thereby in spaced relation to the support, and a plurality of insulat ngspools carrier? by said element.

2. A wire-distributicn bracket comprising in combination with a support, spaced'n1e1n bers secured to the support and having out- Wardly-projecting portions, a lurality of rod-like members connecting saiC projecting 9 portions of the spaced members, and a pin" rality insulating-spools carried by each rod-like member. 1

3. 'A Wire-distribution bracket, comprising spaced adjustable end brackets capable of being secured to a supporting member and having portions, a-pluraiity of pins connecting the projecting portions. of the end brackets, lurality of insulat ing-spools carried by pir te nediaw the prc lections, substantia ascribed.

i 0 end" a scenic A wiiefiisiribdtion bracket comprising lating-spdolsnaxially carried by said pin spaced securing parts, means connecting said pans, and a piuraii'iy of abutting 1nsulat1ngspecie earned in signai ahnement by said means.

- 5. A wiredisufibution bracket comprising, in"e0mbination Witha sup ort, spaced 5.- shaped securing parts carrie by the support, pim'aiity of pin members secured at their be said parts, and a .pluralityef insumembers, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunte signed my name to thisspecification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
